Sangeetha Kalanidhi 2018
Given that the slots have already been posted, it boils down to
(a) Aruna Sayeeram,
(b) Bombay Jayashree, or
(c) Ranjani - Gayatri
Or, will Smt. Sudha Ragunathan create history by being the first person to get the Sangeetha Kalanidhi twice?!

Re: Sangeetha Kalanidhi 2018
Before everyone obliges the OP by getting into the heated argument that this invariably becomes, may be we should wait for her response to HarishankarK's question: what slots, posted where?? The answer to this is important as it is used as the justification for starting this thread this early.
Update: there is another thread where this question is answered with this OP participating, in the events section. *sigh*

Re: Sangeetha Kalanidhi 2018
To elect the SK awardee each year - why can't the Academy come up with the nominees and then ask the previous Sangita Kalanidhis' who are alive and willing to vote for amongst the nominees - and whoever gets the maximum votes can be given the award for the year. That will be more transparent, won't it?

Really - I don't think that this slot has anything to do with SK title winner - surely the morning concert senior singers names are not included yet in the slots - so this is definitely not a comprehensive list of eligible nominees

Re: Sangeetha Kalanidhi 2018
Possibly one of the greatest percussionists ever. But, for SK, I would say that it should go to someone who still, if they perform, do so regularly for "ordinary" classical concerts. OK, OK. Before I get beaten into the ground, yes, I do occasionally see his name listed, but, whatever he may have done, or whoever he may have played for, decades ago, these days, I think of him as a world-tour/fusion guy.
If I am wrong, I'll happily eat my words. But, in my Chennai concert-going over the past decade, where there is a ghatam player from the local pool of ghatam players, it has never been Vikku. Not once.
But wait, SK for jugalbandi/fusion... It's sure to be one of the MA's new, modern ideas, one day!

Should've clarified that I feel that Aruna is the most likely to get the Kalanidhi this year. My apologies.
It seems that there is a movement to get Sowmya the Kalanidhi too.

Aruna Sairam hasn't done anything remarkable other than singing light pieces to appeal to the gallery .
My vote is for Lalgudi Srimathi and Anuradha Sridhar

What else is our annual pre-award SK thread about but rumours and opinions. Whilst it may get a little heated occasionally, it is just for fun
Good idea. Highly successful in fusion, cross-over, other genres etc, but also regularly playing carnatic.
I'm very happy to see someone make a material success out of a profession in music. Good for him. There are still those, though, who would be against the SK awardee arriving in his BMW! I say, shame on them expecting artists to be poor, as in some outdated, mythical ideal.

Brahma offers an evolved soul, destined for just one more birth, a choice of what the being wants to be.
"Brahma, sir, I want to be born in Mylapore."
"OK, as what? Ambika appalam seller, temple priest, mosquito, or a musician!?"
"MUSICIAN!"
"OK. But tell me what's so good about it."
"Brahma, you don't KNOW? That's the best way to get a Sangita Kalanidhi, man!"
"But do you know the moment you're close to that award stuff, you will have to suffer the trolls in rasikas.org for about 15 months before and about 3 months after?"
"But Brahma, don't you know I will have an army of supporters inflitrating all such sites?"
"Suit yourself. That SK is not such a big deal to suffer all that trolling."
"So what else do you suggest, Brahma?"
"Become a fake businessman, borrow 25000 crores from a bank, and scoot."
"Then what?"
"You can conduct festivals in various names and all those Mylapore folks will come and sing in your place".
"OK. Done deal, then!"

Not sure if this is true. But sad to note that Dharma kaaryam is happening from Adharmic funds/sponsors.
Carnatic music being used for money laundering - Kaliyuga - what else can explain this ??

One of the leading sabhas in TN was being run by people whose loans were NPA. There are many, many instances where the 'noble' have to hide their real face. One of the patrons of Thiruvaiyaru had huge unpaid loans to a PSB and its chairman was in trouble.

Re: Sangeetha Kalanidhi 2018
I suppose those at the Academy are listening to what we propose
If they are reading this thread, they are probably having a good laugh over our earnestness
When we go on and on, they get a chance to either ignore us or to have a bit of fun over our persistent earnestness...
Over the years on this topic, we have found out that:
There are more than just one out there who deserves the award.
There is only one awardee.
There are logistics about rotation (vocal, instrumental, male, female).
Then, politics: internal and that outside the Academy: political political, societal politics, influences--inside and outside of it.
Amidst all this, musicians carry on enriching music, and really, the award counts not that much.
As for us, a child doesn't get excited or obsessed over his dIpAvali share of fireworks every day of the year In the same manner, there's a limit to the time in which we can indulge in this SK proposing and guessing game That's why I said earlier that it's too early--like Christmas in spring
Another strange thing. We pay way too much importance to the SK award (as if other awards don't count at all), and yet carry on knocking the MA. Time for some introspection?

By only the thread heading, the current one is rightly here as SK has everything to do with music, at least in theory.

Re: Sangeetha Kalanidhi 2018
This year I suppose the awardee has got to be a senior vocalist , since the last two years had seen instrumentalists being awarded .
So , who are the senior vocalists waiting for this highest honour today ?
1. Smt. Suguna Varadachari
2. Sri. OS Thyagarajan
It would be one of them .
My personal opinion is that Smt. Suguna Purushothaman must have been awarded SK earlier , in the post 2010 years .

There have been no names mentioned in KVChellappa's post. Please help me understand - how does an anonymous blanket statement, which I couldn't trace through my contacts in the Music circle, are 'innuendos on public personalities' when neither innuendo nor personality is clear???

This time It may be OS Thyagarajan.
Vijaya Siva ruled out as he does not perform at Academy.
Last two years it has been Instrumentalists,hence it will definitely be vocal.
